I can't get Firefox to allow pop ups - changed setting in options but still blocking pop ups

I have tried to allow pop ups by changing preferences in options but Firefox is not allowing the pop up windows. It used to work before but I can't understand why it won't work now.

Under "Content" in Options, you have UNchecked "Block pop-up windows", yet you still don't see any popups? Can you give us an example of a site that is not showing pop-ups despite you turning the feature off?
A good site to test the pop-up blocker feature is http://www.popuptest.com/ where you can see if it's running or not. More info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker?s=pop-up&r=0&e=sph&as=s

How can I get Firefox to allow AOL to open. It will not allow!

Firefox a warning that I will be redirected to another page (aol.com) and I select the allow box., but it does not redirect or allow. HELP

See:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

How can I get Firefox to allow ads on websites?

When I load websites I don't see adds. This is most apparent on these sorts of sites (e.g. http://smashboards.com/ ) where I see a banner saying I have an ad-block enabled instead of seeing an advert. I do not have ad-block extensions. I have tried disabling all my extensions but this cause no change. I tried enabling tracking and allowing pop-ups but this also had no effect. I want ads to appear because I want to support the sites I visit.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

I have set Javascript enabled but no difference.

I have reloaded Firefox and reset it - problem still exists

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

I can't get my iPod to turn on. I tried charging but still won't turn on.

I can't get my iPod Classic to turn on. I tried charging but still won't turn on. This happened once before and someone told me a way to turn on by holding a series of buttons down at same time. Does anyone know how?

dkstahlman,
With the iPod still plugged into an external power source, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may take 1 or 2 tries.

I want to add Adobe Flash Player, How can I get Firefox to allow it?

I just made Mozilla Firefox my browser ...now I want to view a video...but it says I need to download Adobe Flashplayer...but since I have Firefox it says I need to somehow enable the add on. How do I do that? Where on the Firefox toolbar can I do that?

#'''Update or Install Shockwave Flash'''
#*Use Firefox to Download and SAVE to your hard drive from the link in article below; the link takes you directly to the download and you avoid the "getplus" download manager and "extras" (i.e., toolbars, virus scan links, etc.) on the main Adobe page.
#*SAVE to your Desktop so you can find it
#*After download completes, close Firefox
#*Click on the file you just downloaded and install
#**Note: Vista and Win7 users may need to right-click the installer downloaded and choose "Run as Administrator"
#**Note: Most browsers other than IE will also get updated with this one download
#**Note: To update IE, same procedure '''but use IE''' to go: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
#*After installation, restart Firefox and check your version again.

You need to update your plugins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
* Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape
* Java Plug-in 1.6.0_01 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
** You may want to remove the old Java version before installing the new version; see link below
** Firefox 3.6.x requires Java 1.6.0_10 or higher
#Check your plugin versions: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
#*'''Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions'''
#'''Update Shockwave for Director'''
#*NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player.
#*Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below (Desktop is a good place so you can find it).
#*When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit)
#*locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.
#*Restart Firefox and check your plugins again.

I can't get firefox to allow me to login sites or even send a crash report

Had 3.6.7, worked fine. Upgraded to 9.0.1. Now logins won't respond to an attempt to enter. So I tried to send a dissatisfied report and it would not allow me to click on send

Additional info: Removed 9.0.1 twice and downloaded 3 times. Need to get into my sites. I am a novice and rely on firefox to access my programs. 3.6.7 worked, but I no longer have that.

How can I get firefox to allow my bank to redirect to another page without me having to "allow" it?

Fire fox has started to prevent my bank from "automatically redirecting to an other page" I have to hit the "allow" button, two times. I have check tools, security etc., and can't find where to change it back to doing it automatically or adding as an exception.

I am trying to access the source code to my blog (I used a standard template on Blogger) to add a code for advertisements. How can I get Firefox to allow me to edit the code for my blog?

I see where I can view the code but not where I can make changes. The coding that is there now was created by the template I chose on Blogger.

How do I get Firefox to allow me to go to the Facebook site, it blocks all attempts.

Every time I google facebook or try to go to the site from an email link, Firefox blocks it and gives a message it is an untrusted site.

By the way, another user discovered their Facebook issue was caused by their ESET security software needing to be updated: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1057306 Why is mozilla not accepting facebooks certificate on my pc ?] Not sure if that is relevant to you.

How can I get firefox to execute perl scripts from local files

I have created perl scripts on my local host (file type ".pl").
In MS Windows I have associated that type to a perl interpreter installed on my local host.
IE allows me to create links to them and to execute them (after asking for permission).
How can I get firefox to do the same? It doesn't seem to allow me to add application types, only to change those that are already defined. As a result, in firefox, they just show up as text, instead of being executed.

First guess is that you did not use an .html extension on the file. The file may well be ''name.html.txt''

I can't get firefox to launch I'm getting a java script application - bbyln is nt defined

I can't get firefox to launch. I'm getting an error report:
java script application - bbyln is not defined

[ I've solve ] Well, I was too upset from the errors of babylon, sometimes it didn't allowed me to browse internet and oftentimes it ruined my new(default) tab opening parameters, so finally after damn research i figured it out how to get rid from these errors.; these files (software /errors) weren't visible anywhere e.g. control panel, system32 etc. i got em from C:\......, then i deleted em and got a complete calm. so here you go and remove both things;
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins (bbyln.dll).
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions (bbyln folder)
after to remove (babylon) relevant files restart your Mozilla firefox. WAIT. WAIT. don't forget to complement me...just say loudly....Well done dude, You're Genius ....O_o....!!!!
Sure, it'd be helpful because its not me its my experience talking to you.

I have tried all can not get firefox to search for website

I run Windows XP.
It all began with the fiollowing error - "could not load xpcom. From there I redownloaded and installed - the foillowing scenario followed on this.
I can not get firefox to connect to the net.
I re downloaded and installed firefox, 3 times, no difference.
My home page shows on my desk top screen - but it clearly does not work as it will not do any searches and connect to other websites.
When trying to use in "Options" it closes the firefox home page, as though I had exited it.
I have now spent 2 days reading and trying all as given in firefox help and community forum - nothing I read fits the bill, or has been of any assistance.
The search field is empty and I can not get it to accept a search engine name like google or any other. I know firefox has a choice - but the pull down choice menu does not open.
I am now at a total loss and desperate to get back to work having wasted 22 days already trying to repair same.
I tried the automatically install add ons as per this very "automatically add" button, but it says Firefox can not modify the required file.
Please help I am desperate!

As I said, I have read about all.
There is no solution there for me - I am not an internet guru and must be honest some of the solution provided seem high tech and beyond me - they refer to certain aspects of the system which I do not see on my computer.
I would like some one to give me a step by step solution if there is one.
It began as follows when I tried to open firefox...
It told me (for some reason) about 5 days ago ..."could not load xpcom."
I have read and read and eventually found what I thought would be the solution. - Reinstall.
I re downloaded/installed the latest version of Firefox. Now the page opens but it is inert - does no searching and does not accept any search engine addition - neither does it provide a choice of search engine as it used to do.
I USED THE FIREFOX PAGE ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO SAME COMPUTER.
I can open various url's which i have saved for research purposes and also things like my bank account to do tfrs. No problem.
My email also works fine.
For some reason the newly installed version of Firefox does not see the internet or react to anything - (have reinstalled 3 times) -neither does it accept anything one types into the search field - when I click to activate the search it simply deletes it.
I need some "help fpr dummies" please
Thank you for your interest to help - much appreciated.

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:
